Good incremental GC is critical for much content. We have incremental GC but no real pause bound because FinishIncrementalMark does a full heap scan to run destructors synchronously. This means fixing finalization, which almost certainly means getting rid of reference counting, which means we'll need a generational collector for good performance. Ideally we'd do this for both AS2 and AS3 but we'd settle for AS3 support initially.
